“For us to create a tabletop item in a market that’s completely saturated, it had to be something unusual,” says designer Megan Sommerville of Materia. As a result, Sommerville and her partner Matt Ensner developed a slip-cast porcelain vessel that stretches the form of the brand’s Forchette lampshade to the maximum. “We created something completely new by just by expanding the boundaries and scale of a particular material,” adds Sommerville. Weighing just under 20 pounds with a diameter of 22 inches, Cirque creates a statement all on its own.
